What Do You Like About Yourself? ♡
❤
Hey hey lovely people coming across! I hope the new year is treating everyone well so far! Here's a hope, it gets only better for us!🌻
Sooooo, are you someone who finds it hard to compliment themselves? Or hard to even accept a compliment from someone else?
If you are one, I'd like to assure you, you aren't alone!
It is kinda unfair how schools don't teach us how to be kind to ourselves, how to love ourselves, how to accept compliments, how to express ourselves and sometimes even, how to be ourselves! All these years of education for what :P
But anyway, what someone else cannot teach us, we can learn or atleast try to teach ourselves, always at our pace though!
But Sunnnnnn, how to do it, it's haaaaaarddddd lol ~ oh yes, sun knows and sun agrees and sun relates! But sun is rooting for you! 🤗
Sooo, I came across something like an outside perspective, because sure, we cannot do it for ourselves often, we'd be hesitant in trusting a loved one because again, they could be biased but how about an absolute stranger? They don't know us, they don't see us as we do, they see us as we *are* and so there's a chance they don't have any reason to lie, or sugarcoat.
There is always something about you to be admired. Try to imagine what a stranger would think about you from a neutral, unbiased, unfiltered opinion.
You have qualities to admire, even if you’re self-conscious about yourself, or simply hesitant to accept it. Look at yourself like you would anyone else, and realize how amazing you are. Just The Way You Are ( oh yes, Bruno Mars fans, where y'all at👀 )
Nowww did everyone get it already, or need I say more xD
Green signal to everyone, tell us what is something, anything that you like about yourself, it can be something about your physical appearance, a quality you have, something you feel you are good at, something you achieved and are proud for, literally anything counts here!
Just deep breaths in, deep breaths out, clear ya mind and tell your anxiety it is lying ~ you do have something worth *your* liking, all you need is to acknowledge, accept and appreciate it! And so I hope, saying it here, helps in someway!
Andddd ofcourse, please feel free to tag fellow cupsers to participate as well!

I like that I'm really smart.
@SilvHoshi
Hiya! It's so nice to see you and yay for recognizing something appreciable in yourself! Being smart is such a cool trait! 💛
I've struggled with my self image for as long as I can remember. Growing up and not being 'conveniently' attractive meant I suffered bullying all my life from random strangers, people at school/college and even my own family.
Now I am older and moved away from my hometown, my life has changed so much in so many amazing ways. I'm on my journey to self healing 🩷 I'm learning so much about myself and healing my inner child ✨️
I'm proud of how far I have come in many aspects of my life in this past year and a half. Now I'm beginning to learn to love myself. I catch myself looking my reflection in the eyes and thinking some things about myself are actually pretty.
So to answer your question, I like that I am a strong beautiful woman who cares so much for others and wants to actively make my own life and the lives of people better ✨️
** 'conventionally'
@AthenasWisdom15 Many of us learn to love ourselves in parts first ^-^ soon we learn to love ourselves as a whole awesome being *-* I feel proud of how far you have come <3 The kindness that you have for yourself and for other will keep growing and hope it keeps coming back to you in the form of many blessings.
I like how I keep on going no matter what. :]
@orangeWatermelon8349 I like that too <3 Keep going ^-^
mostly my looks, i like my pale skin, nose and hair :)
@iheartshikatanii
That is so lovely to hear!🥰 Thankyouu for sharing!
I like that i was once good enough to be loved by a very special person. I liked who i was when he was alive. I am grateful for the blessing of love that i experienced.
@sooty41 Aww this was so heart warming to read!❤
I like nothing about myself
@MisMoxxie
Aw it's okay to not like anything about yourself at the time, but I hope someday you can find something likeable, it could be as simple as being brave enough to reach out for support in 7 cups, to start with. For which I'm really so proud of you!
All of us deserve kindness, and it's worth while, getting to know ourselves better and trying to be a little more kind to self. No rush though, your pace will always be a great pace. 💛
To be honest, I felt I wanted to cry when I saw this post. Most people around me think I have already done enough, I am doing wonderful everyday and I have done the best I can; however, inside my heart there is still a lot of lack, unworthiness and fear 😢 I am trying my best to be kind to myself but I always worry something bad will happen if I don't stay cautious and I can't relax😰 I think one thing I love myself the best is that I am very caring about people around me, and while I am still in the process of redeveloping my self concept, I hope I will have more confidence with myself day by day 🙏🏻
@wojiaozly123
Aww it's okay to cry, you're allowed to.
I so get that, it's not easy being kind to ourselves, or show some self-love, when there's constant stressors and anxiety of not meeting expectations, despite some poeple around telling you that you've done more than enough.
You got this one, it's the self-concept, and I'm so proud of you for working on redeveloping the same for you. I hope you add lots of kindness, confidence and love for yourself in this one. You totally deserve it, along with the rest and taking pause as well.
Being caring towards others is a very lovely trait, and I'm so glad you recognize you have it. People around you are truly blessed to have you with them. Hope some of this care is directed towards yourself too, again, yes, you totally deserve it. 💛
Sending hugs! 💛
I have interesting ideas about all sorts of things!
@thoughtfulWatermelon8834
Earl Nightingale said, "everything begins with an idea". Yay you for having a diverse perspective and open mind for looking at things, and having interesting ideas about them! Thanks for sharing!
I'm a great Mom and I support my daughter in her growth and development well. I always answer all of her questions, even if I need to Google some things like how high a tsunami wave can be hehe.
Did not realise how difficult it is to compliment yourself easily. Looking at myself from a strangers perspective I would say that I am thoughtful to those around me and will try my best to put a smile and leave a mark on those around me :D looking forward to hearing all about you guys!
Hi @Neero21 nice to meet you! I know right, it's one of those seemingly simple/ normal things, that isn't as normal or usual for many people sadly! (':
That's such a beautiful thing to do, impacting positively and making people smile with your caring and thoughtful nature. You sound like the kind of person everyone should have in their life! Keep being you!❤
